Has anyone plumbed the independant twin smokers together using a tee piece, we are about to fit the motion packs and wondered if there was any advantage in doing so or are they best left seperate, when you see video footage of the real thing the exhaust smoke is very often different as it leaves each stack, due I suppose to the two banks of cylinders running slightly differently at times? cheers Phil for Magpies Pyro

Assuming the fans are run from the motor supplies, then when you did a full skid turn, one fan would be stationary and the other would be running at full speed, so you risk blowing the smoke from one unit out of the fan aperture of the other, rather than the exhaust stack :oops:

Hi Guys

If you want differant smoke effects from each stack, pipe one longer with another bend into it.

Richie :wink:

Have you goten the smokers to work?
I might have done it wrong but when i tur with one track, the smokers stop wich is kinda annoying!
I might have with the fact that there is only one signal cable from the motors.
Im looking into if there is a way of getting rid of this with a relay or something.
